This is the first of two episodes we'll be doing, featuring Denzel Washington as a law enforcement officer of some kind.
We open up with The Mighty Quinn, a 1989 film that Washington made right on the heels of his stint in the television show St. Elsewhere. (Don't mistake it for his film debut, though.) Denzel is a police officer on a Caribbean island and there are some strange doings happening, which point to a good friend of his as the culprit. It's a story of comedy, corruption, government interference, voodoo, cool drinks and hot music as he works to crack the case.
In Part Two we come back to the states for Inside Man, from 2006.
